There are no winners in this circumstance; the actors, production houses and more importantly the viewers. I think there needs to be a new ruling which satisfies - or not - all parties. Using the general rule we have here in Australia. A business is required to keep all records for 7 years in the event they might be audited by the Australian Tax Office. I believe a similar rule should be put in place for television series. If a series is repeated within 7 years after last airing then the actors should be paid a residual. Once the 7 year mark has passed then the company responsible for producing the series is free to air it as they see fit. Otherwise we'll end up in this ridiculous situation where far too many series will be moth-balled...never to see the light of day.</p></blockquote><p></p>
